        !            14: - Sound changes :
        !            15:   - Better model of the YM2149 noise generation (no noticeable audible impact)
        !            16:   - Slightly better volume table (measured by Paulo Simoes on a real ST)
        !            17: - CPU changes :
        !            18:   - Added experimental MMU emulation for the 68030 mode

        !            24:   - Clock is handled internally in IKBD, host date/time is used
        !            25:     only to initialize RTC at boot.  I.e. pausing emulation doesn't
        !            26:     cause time skips when unpausing
        !            27:   - Fix slow mouse when absolute mode is used with scale values

        !            38:   - Correct delay for type I commands with "verify" bit=1
        !            39: - GEMDOS HD emulation changes :
        !            40:   - Support Fforce() for GEMDOS HD emulated files and close at Pterm*()
        !            41:     all internal handles to emulated files program had left open
        !            42:   - Fix: cut file and dir names to 8+3 chars like all TOS versions do
        !            43:   - Fix: GEMDOS HD emulation overwrote last 28 bytes of basepage space
        !            44:     for the started process command line (with the program header)
        !            45:   - Fix: Fwrite() content wasn't flushed to disk on each write, so later
        !            46:     Fopen() + Fread()s calls on such files (if they were not closed
        !            47:     in the meanwhile) could get data that was out of date.
        !            48:   - Fix: Dfree() return value
        !            49:

        !            60:   - Setup NVRAM video mode based on VDI mode, when in VDI mode.
        !            61:     This makes VDI mode work with EmuTOS also under Falcon emulation
        !            62:     which is useful as EmuTOS doesn't support native VIDEL expanders
        !            63:   - Limit VDI screen memory usage to 300kB, this allows upto 2048x1200

        !            65: - GEMDOS HD emulation:
        !            66:   - Fix: to DTA host filename cutting to 8+3 chars when whole filename
        !            67:     was < 12 chars (caused EmuTOS crash)
        !            68:   - Give warning if GEMDOS dir/file path exceeds 8+3 characters
        !            69:     (as those won't work with real TOS)
        !            70:   - New --gemdos-case option to specify whether new dir/filenames
        !            71:     are forced to be created in upper (default) or lower case
        !            72:   - Giving empty string as GEMDOS HD dir disables GEMDOS HD emulation
        !            73: - SDL GUI:
        !            74:   - Fileselector has "CWD" button for changing to Hatari's work directory
        !            75:   - Fileselector remembers previous position which is nicer with
        !            76:     large directories
        !            77:   - Make the drive leds blink with a brighter green when the FDC is executing

        !            84:     CPU instruction cycles
        !            85:   - Profiler provides timing information, based on used cycles
        !            86:   - Profiler provides CPU instruction cache misses information when using
        !            87:     cycle-exact WinUAE CPU core (which is Falcon emu default)
        !            88:   - Profiler top instruction count/cycles/misses lists show

        !            92:     code passed during profiling (e.g. while program seems frozen, this
        !            93:     gives much better overview of code that is being run, than cpu trace)
        !            94:   - New "callers" subcommand lists all addresses from which loaded
        !            95:     symbols' addresses were "called" from.  This way one can e.g. find
        !            96:     in which contexts interrupt handlers were called and it can be

        !           101:     profiling with symbols, for ':noinit' backtraces
        !           102: - Debugger:
        !           103:   - New ':noinit' and ':quiet' breakpoint options.  Quiet option

        !           105:     can be used with "profile stack" command, to prevent profile data and
        !           106:     related callstack information from being reseted on breakpoint match
        !           107:   - "blitter" and "dsp" subcommand added to "info" command, to show
        !           108:     blitter register values and DSP state (e.g. stack content)
        !           109:   - "prg" subcommand added to "symbols" command, for loading debug
        !           110:     symbols from DRI/GST symbol table in last started program

        !           112:     -> 's' shortcut is now for "step", not "save"
        !           113:   - "--disasm" option for selecting between UAE core and external CPU
        !           114:     code dissassembler and setting output option flags for latter
        !           115:   - When -D option is used, also undefined/illegal DSP instructions and
        !           116:     DSP stack under/overflows invoke debugger, not just CPU issues
        !           117:   - Fix: when several breakpoints should have triggered
        !           118:          on the same address, only first was handled
        !           119:   - Fix: after breakpoint, 'c <n>' continues one instruction too little
        !           120:   - Fix: tracking breakpoint values were updated only when all conditions
        !           121:     matched, now they can be also used together with other conditions
        !           122:   - Fix: info command crash (triggered on NetBSD)
        !           123:   - Fix: disassember output bug on NetBSD (usigned char < -1 test)
        !           124:   - Fix: info osheader and basebase subcommands under MiNT

        !           127:   - Fix: expression expansion messing lines in command line history
        !           128:   - Remote API debugger commands can also use expression expansion
        !           129:   - Both single and double quotes can be used to mark expressions
        !           130:   - In addition to text section offset, data and bss section offsets
        !           131:     can be given when loading symbols (useful for Devpac symbols)
        !           132:   - Output what value was set by options if it's not otherwise shown by UI
        !           133:   - New 'cpu' and 'dsp' options to 'history' command for tracing just
        !           134:     one of these processors on Falcon
        !           135:   - Function arguments are shown in traces for all non-MiNT GEMDOS calls
        !           136:     and subset of arguments are now shown also for AES calls (values in
        !           137:     intin array and strings in addrin array)
        !           138:   - Add NVRAM read & write tracing

        !           145: - Fix: console stderr redirection (used invalid "wr" mode)
        !           146: - Fix Windows localtime() not supporting dates before 1970:

                    910: - Some bugs in the 68000 emulation have been fixed.
                    911: - The emulator now checks for double bus errors and stops the emulation if
                    912:   necessary (instead of crashing the emulator).
                    913: - Timer-D is now patched correctly again.

                    966: 
                    967: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
                    968:   however the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first.
                    969:   So this is done in the affected code parts now, too.
                    970: - The IPL wasn't raised when a MFP interrupt occured - fixed now.

                    976: - Resynced Hatari's UAE CPU core with UAE 0.8.22 - this fixes some bugs in 68k
                    977:   instructions like ABCD and SBCD.
                    978: - Added patches for TOS 2.05 so that this TOS version should now work, too.
                    979: - Rewrote TOS patching routine. It is much more flexible now.
                    980: - Removed 0xa0ff opcode for VDI resolutions; using GEMDOS_OPCODE now instead.

                    984:   right exception handler routine. This has been fixed now.
                    985:
